Trucking has changed. Technology isn’t just gadgets — it’s survival. But it can either be your best friend or your biggest headache.
—
Q1: What tech tools are essential today?
GPS systems designed for trucks, load board apps, and fuel planning apps are the backbone of modern trucking. A good GPS saves time, a bad one can send you under a 12-foot bridge.
—
Q2: Are ELDs a curse or a blessing?
Both. They force compliance, but they also help with trip planning if you use them right. Know your hours, plan your breaks, and let the ELD keep you honest.
—
Q3: What about communication?
Phones, CBs, and dispatch apps all matter. The key is balance — stay connected without being distracted. Your eyes belong on the road, not the screen.
